Ballmer Wants to "Stomp Linux" Using MS community

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the shiny-jackboots-look-good-on-steve dept.

StefMeister writes "According to this article on CNet, MS wants to fight Linux by using their community support (of course by community they mean the few guys they personally know and who make money using their MS knowledge). My favorite quote of the article is this one "Linux is not like Novell, it isn't going to run out of money--it started off bankrupt, in a way.""

    um,,, I don't know of anyone who makes money coding for Linux. Nor can I find, any jobs in my area listing Linux as a qualificationrelevant monster search here.

    I keep saying, I'll learn Linux as soon as I see a significant market for it.
